Don't mind us, we're just discussing nomenclature.

I don't think that it is useful to call a business doing something you don't like regarding a luxury product that is a immoral. There are far worse things in this world to classify as such. This is why we have words like 'ethical', so we can describe things about agreements or practices we don't like in situations where nobody is being injured, traumatised or ruined.

Apart from that, you may be saying Funcom is being completely unethical, I'm just saying they're being a little unethical and the rest just being stupid. There's not much difference in our opinions.

80 hours into my petition now, still no answer, more and more exploiter names added to the petition, including the ones that are currently instakilling my towers and those of others.... FC do something!

You don't like it, just leave! Stop bitching about your insignificant problem. Other players are having fun and the game is still doing great. There are raids and tons of content, I always have something to do. Stop being so negative if you want this game to keep going.

What a terrible attitude. So the aspects of the game you enjoy are for the most part unaffected, thus this means that the people who's game play is severely affected have no right to vent or ask for a solution? What gear you on mate? These players are paying a large sum of money to play a game they used to love, it's only fair that they try and make change happen to fix it. The game us not "still doing great", regardless if you are affected or not.

Funcom won't do anything for these game anymore - Anarchy Online don't have any developer - Michi is now developer for the Conan Exiles game...
We wont get any exploit fixes, bug fixes, better support or other things. guys open your eye's...

Just wish they'd at least communicate with us and tell us what is going to happen, so we can either have a farewell party or be reassured it would be fixed...

What happened is that someone at FC looked at the numbers and realized that Michizure - the QA bum promoted to GD - and his team, were having a negative effect on the subscriptions. Nothing they were doing (e.g. new starting area) was having a positive effect on the numbers. Their conclusion wasn't that the bum and his team are incompetent and should be fired and replaced by competent persons, not QA bums with no name college degrees, but that there is nothing to be done, that the game can't be saved. So they've pulled out completely.

But you guys deserve this, oh how you pampered that bum and his predecessors! Means was in a permanent holiday and people sill loved him. From all the games community I've been part of, I've never seen one with so many kiss-ass as AO's. The core of AO players are kiss-ass who brought the game down by their permissive attitude towards the incompetent GDs of AO.

While i do agree that some AO GD's have been awful, i wouldn't put all the blame for AO's fall on them. Instead i think the real culprit are FC's marketing staff who really seem to be clueless about what makes a typical MMO gamer tick.

To me it's always seemed that the dev's have been willing to do what it takes to fix things (and some of them even competent) but the FC marketing and administration or some other number cruncher has always been sabotaging their work by pulling resources right when most needed etc. Same reason is most likely to blame for the lack of communication since mean's days as GD: Means promised a lot, and delivered nothing, so after that i think the GD's and Dev's have been told to say nothing to prevent same kind of disasters like with the new engine deadlines for example.

It's always been typical for FC to go overboard. First they promise too much, and when all fails, they go completely silent. Same with game fixes... if something is slightly broken, they go and change it completely and usually fail to fix the original problem, but introduce at least a few new problems (like the /assist/follow changes etc). And this applies to every funcom game in existence.
